About the Northern Nevada Correctional Center program

The gentling, saddle training program in Carson City began in October 2000 as a cooperative effort between the Nevada Department of Corrections – Silver State Industries and the Nevada Department of Agriculture to train Nevada estray / feral horses. BLM joined the partnership in 2004; through an agreement signed in 2007, the inmates now train only Bureau of Land Management wild horses and burros. Three to four public adoptions are held each year and all horses and burros are offered through a competitive-bid adoption process, conducted by an auctioneer. Through the Northern Nevada Correctional Center program, 60 - 80 wild horses and burros are trained and adopted each year. Nearly 300 inmates have been through the program, often with little or no experience with horses. The inmates give each horse or burro about 120 days of training. The animals are essentially “green broke” and will need daily training and handling by an experienced rider when they arrive at their new home. Keep tabs on the Bureau of Land Management’s Nevada Facebook page to find out when the next adoption may be and your chance to take home a legend! https://www.facebook.com/BLMNevada.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) How much training do the animals actually have? • The animals are “green-broke” which means they have received up to 120+ days of training by

the inmates. They will continue to need daily training to reinforce the basics they have learned. Most saddle-started horses will initially need an experienced rider.

Can we preview the animal available for adoption before the adoption date? • No, since this a prison facility, the animals cannot be viewed until the morning of the adoption. What can I wear and bring to the adoption event and may I bring my children? • Since this is a prison facility and the inmates wear blue denim, blue denim is not allowed so that

the security guards can readily distinguish between the inmates and the public. Also, tank tops and shorts are not allowed.

• Due to security and privacy concerns, cell phones and cameras are prohibited. • Children are welcome; however, they may not wear blue clothing either. Additionally, parents are

responsible for ensuring their children remain with them at all times. Do I have to be present to adopt a wild horse or burro? Can I send my friend? • You must be present to adopt a wild horse or burro. You cannot send a family member or a

friend. The person signing the “Private Maintenance and Care Agreement” will be the legal adopter and the only person that can apply for title after a year of proper care.

What are the facility requirements? • The minimum size corral is 20’ x 20’ which is also the recommended size until the adopted

animal becomes easy to catch. Even though the horses are green broke, they may still startle easily and attempt to jump over the corral, therefore a corral height of a minimum of 5’ is required and be made from heavy duty construction materials using poles, pipes, or planks with at least 1 ½ inch thickness, without dangerous protrusions. Barbed wire, large-mesh-woven, stranded, and electric materials are unacceptable for fencing.

• Some form of shelter must be available, within the corral area, to mitigate the effects of inclement weather and temperature extremes; examples of acceptable shelter may be of natural cover (tree, etc.) or man-made structure.

Do I have to pick up the animal I adopt the day of the adoption? • The BLM prefers that you take the horse or burro home the day of the adoption, but special

arrangements can be made with the prison to pick up the animal in a couple of days. What are the BLM’s trailer requirements for hauling my animal home? • The BLM recommends stock type trailers; three-horse slant load trailers are acceptable. Other

types of trailers will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. BLM requires trailers meet the following minimum requirements:

a. Covered top, sturdy walls and floors, and a smooth interior, free from any sharp protrusions.

b. Ample head room, adequate ventilation and floors covered with a non-skid material. c. Removable partitions or compartments to separate animals by size and sex, if necessary.

• BLM personnel will inspect the safety of each trailer and reserve the right to refuse loading if the trailer is unacceptable.

What is the average sale price of saddle-started horses trained by prison inmates? • Prices vary widely. The bids have gone as high as $15,000. However, the average price is about

$800 to $1,000 per animal. It really depends on how many people are interested in one particular animal.

humane care for the number of animals requested. • Provide a home for the animal in the United States until you receive Certificate of Title from the

BLM. Does BLM accept personal checks? What other types of payment are accepted? • The BLM accepts personal checks, money orders, American Express, Discover, VISA,

MasterCard, travelers’ checks, and cash as payment for adoption fees. Can I get a refund or exchange my adopted horse for another in the future? • In spite of efforts to provide adopters with healthy animals, situations arise where unrecognized

lameness or health problems surface following adoption. Upon request, an adopter may receive a credit for the amount of the original adoption toward the adoption fee for a replacement animal if the following conditions apply:

a. Within six months of the original adoption, the adopter provides a signed statement from a veterinarian that the animal died, had to be euthanized, or was diagnosed with an incurable illness or lameness attributable to a condition that already existed at the time of adoption.

b. The death, development of the illness, or lameness of the animal must not have been preventable by proper care from the adopter.

c. The request for replacement, with the substantiating veterinarian's statement, is received by the BLM no later than 30 days after the animal's death or diagnosis.

d. Adopters shall return live animals to the BLM; should the animal have been euthanized or succumbed, the adopter is responsible for the disposal of the carcass.

• BLM will issue the original adopter an adoption fee voucher with the following stipulations:

a. The voucher will be the same amount paid at the time of the original adoption. b. Valid for 1-year from the date issued. c. Redeemable toward the fee to adopt another animal at an upcoming satellite adoption

event, Internet adoption, or during a regularly scheduled Northern Nevada Correctional Center adoption.

d. The voucher cannot be used at an event sponsored by the Mustang Heritage Foundation (MHF).

e. The voucher is only good for one animal. f. If the fee for the replacement animal is more than the original adoption fee, the adopter will

be required to pay the balance. If the fee for the replacement animal is less than the original adoption voucher amount, the remaining balance will be forfeited.

g. No other refunds or exchanges will be approved.
